He meant the CAC LimpMode issue, while driving in wet/humid conditions!

Not anything to help the motor!

5.4 motor produced there best selling truck as well. They could put Hyabusa motor in the F150 and everyone would buy them. I'll take the Ecoboost 6.2.

That's correct but even when the 5.4 was retired it had seen many updates and was outdated. Like the 6.2

Ford, get back to the most reliable truck and watch sales grow! It might already be the most reliable, some things haven't been looking so good lately.

There is nothing eco about a TT 6.2. The ecoboost line of engines are smaller, twin turbod engines in place of larger engines, not putting twin turbos on the largest engine. It's not called "ecoboosting" a motor
